August 16 1947 26 Pages In August 1947, British India won its independence from the British and split into two new states that would rule themselves. The new countries were India and Pakistan. East Pakistan has since become Bangladesh.This was a very important moment in history. This Original paper takes a look at exactly what happened and what impact it had on people living there. 70 years ago, Partition came into effect, dividing British India into two new, independent countries: India and Pakistan.At midnight on August 14 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of independent India, gave a famous speech which hailed the country's decades-long, non-violent campaign against British rule:At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. However, it soon dawned on the leaders of both countries that the hope and optimism of that night would quickly turn to the harsh realities of how to handle one of the largest mass migrations in modern history and the ensuing communal violence.As India and Pakistan celebrate 70 years of independence, we look back at how two nations were formed - and the years of bloodshed that followed.
